The kids were invited to a Wizard of Oz themed birthday party, and the invitation said "come dressed as munchkins." The host went out of her way to inform my wife that this did not mean she should sew up costumes just for the occasion, so we raided our piles of old clothes for anything that looked munchkin-like. My son saw the funnel-hat and decided he wanted to be the tin man, so we turned him into the spawn of an unholy union between the tin woodsman and one of the more adventurous members of the lullaby league. For the girl, a costume cobbled together from her tulip time outfits worked out quite well.
